Seoul Train

I am of the opinion that, just as law enforcement people should be held to a higher standard, so should governments claiming to be Communist. North Korea is a vile excuse for a people's state. This is not Socialism, Marxism or Communism. It is a disgusting dictatorship ruled by a megalomaniac who deserves to be strung up from the nearest tree. Let the suffering citizens of North Korea beat this pig until the flesh falls from his bones. If you have an opportunity to see the film "Seoul Train" do so. If not, I suggest joining the new independent film club, "Ironweed Flms." It will be one of the DVD's offered in the coming months. I see that Frederic Back's "The Man Who Planted Trees" is to be offered soon also. This is a must have. I think it's one of the most beautiful animated films ever made.

You can purchase the DVD directly from the Seoul Train web site.

A Frederic Back collection can be purchased also

My memory of the 1976 Fourth of July was that of a quiet, boring day in the country. Once again, Dad was hiding out in Pittsburgh leaving Mom and me to ourselves.

I remember the day as hot and sunny. While records show the temperature during the day was around 75 degrees Fahrenheit and the skies cloudy, my memory could be faulty but I remember the sun beating down on me from blue skies while I gril...

A Mention In The Independent

-
Too bad I stumbled upon an email from The Independent's Tehran correspondent, Angus McDowall too late. The email ended up in my Yahoo email which I only use as a spam trap. An article was published today about the Iranian public's ho-hum reaction to the "Holocaust" cartoon exhibition. I was pleased to see that I was treated fairly. "The cartoons included US, European, Brazilian, Korean and Chinese entries. However, the US cartoonist David Baldinger said that his drawing "in no way ridiculed the Holocaust". It is best to let people determine what is propaganda and what is not. Most of the time intelligent people know the difference. Sane people, I would think, don't place value on government statements refuting the Jewish Holocaust's historical fact. I doubt Iranian president Ahmadinejad even believes his statements. He is engaging in what I would call "political mooning". A bare ass sticking in the world's face gets a lot of atten...
